Marylanders Plant Trees

Main_Content

As Marylanders, we take pride in our State and our natural world. We
understand the value of stewardship and the importance of a sustainable
future, and are committed to working together to create a smarter,
greener State.

Planting trees is one way that everyone can contribute to our shared
vision. Trees provide ecological, economic and quality of life benefits –
protecting air and water quality, reducing energy costs, increasing
property values and beautifying neighborhoods and highways.

We launched Marylanders Plant Trees in 2009 to encourage citizens and
organizations to partner with the State to plant new trees. Today,
citizens can still take advantage of our coupon program to receive $25
off the purchase of a native tree at 86 participating nurseries across
the State. The State cost of $20 per coupon is funded through a
settlement from a major power generator for Clean Air Act violations, in
partnership with the Office of the Attorney General, and Maryland’s
participating tree vendors are generously absorbing the remaining $5.

Backyard Buffers

“A Landscape That Will Make A Difference”

The Backyard Buffers program
is designed to assist homeowners who have a stream or other waterway on
or adjacent to their property to create a streamside buffer of native
trees and shrubs.
